This dish drying mat is super absorbent and is the perfect solution when hand washing pots, pans, dishes, or glassware and extra drying space is needed. The unique, laminated design combines a thin layer of foam between two layers of high quality, super absorbent microfiber. The mat absorbs 4 times its weight in water, and is super soft, non-abrasive and cushiony, so it is safe for even the most delicate stemware.
